Is it possible to leave a newborn session without baby fever? (The answer: No!)

This lifestyle newborn session took place at their home in Northern Virginia when baby girl was seven whole days new! Her mom and dad were calm, joyful, and their home – peaceful. One of the greatest gifts of my job is being with families during their most joyful moments such as these; when they are bursting with the love and joy of new life! This sweet baby is blessed to have two parents that love her so! May God bless this sweet family always! This sweet baby is so blessed to have two parents that love her so! May God bless this sweet family always!

This beautiful couple…I’m so thankful I was able to take these maternity portraits for them before their baby girl arrived. We met in Washington DC on a very, very chilly Spring morning. I was in a winter coat behind this camera…

Calm and poised with a peaceful joy – that is how I would describe this beautiful mama awaiting baby number two. Our time together in the studio passed by quickly as we chatted about our moves to Virginia…

Talk about a glowing mama! I often hear women describe their final weeks as uncomfortable, feeling large, tired, and just bleh. While I know that to be true (that’s how I felt!), I also know that with a little pampering, you can also feel more like the glowing, beautiful, expecting YOU! Amanda can attest to […]

I recently received the following message via IG messenger: “Mom to mom, wondering how you manage all of your family photos/videos and moments? Digital backup drive? Do you use “old school” prints and store in albums? Right now I feel like I have so many and my kids are only 2 under 2!” This is […]
